Synopsis
Ten years on from Trainspotting Sick Boy is back in Edinburgh after a long spell in London.
Having failed spectacularly as a hustler, pimp, husband, father and businessman, Sick Boy taps into an opportunity which to him represents one last throw of the dice. However, to realise his dream of directing and producing a pornographic movie, Sick Boy must team up with old pal and fellow exile Mark Renton.
In the world of Porno, though, nothing is straightforward, as Sick Boy and Renton find out that they have unresolved issues to address concerning the increasingly unhinged Frank Begbie, the troubled, drug-addled Spud, but, most of all, with each other.

AI Summary
Irvine Welsh’s "Porno" continues the story of the characters from "Trainspotting," delving into their lives as they become involved in the seedy world of the Edinburgh pornography industry. With sharp dialogue and vivid descriptions, Welsh explores themes of friendship, ambition, and the complexities of human behaviour in a raw and compelling narrative. This novel offers an intense and thought-provoking look at life on the edge.
